Another popular trend is replacing old dressers and other unwieldy bedroom furniture with standard and custom cabinets that line walls or fit snugly into closets. Especially in smaller homes, closed-door cabinetry or open bookshelves placed strategically as room dividers between living and dining areas, and all along walls, can generate new space by increasing storage options.

Not only does cabinetry utilize space better than furniture throughout the home, it helps you get organized and stay that way. With cabinetry, everything has its own home so there’s less clutter and chaos in your life.

Cabinetry opens the interior spaces of the room but what shall you do with it to add color and style? The floor is your design area. A washable area rug or two will add color and contrast to the room and set the mood. Washable area rugs are inexpensive so you can change them out to fit the function.

For example, this Accents 3′-by-4′ Nylon Full Border Mat adds a decorative flourish to foyers, entranceways, living areas, passageways, staircases, bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms. 100% nylon is both durable and soft. This rug can be vacuumed or spot cleaned and hung to dry many times before showing any signs of wear.

An economical advantage to many washable area rug designs is that they come with a non-slip gel back – no extra padding required.
